A wonderfully odd Scottish slang word for the head — specifically the noddle, the cranium, the thing sitting on top of your neck that's supposedly doing your thinking. Capernoitie has the chaotic energy of a word that sounds like what it describes: slightly wobbly, a bit eccentric, not entirely trustworthy. Used informally to refer to someone's head or, by extension, their mental state.
He bumped his capernoitie on the low beam and spent the rest of the evening nursing a lump the size of an egg.
